Petition, Rally to Stop Separation of Families

The organization Families Belong Together is circulating a petition and staging a rally against separation of children from their families at the southern border. Here is more information:

We signed. We spread the word. Now, we rally! Ahead of Father's Day and the Nationwide Rallies Against Family Separation on June 14, we will be staging a rally and press conference to deliver the petition to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We are joining with other organizations that also created petitions to stop family separation and detention to send a clear and unified message to our government officials. Altogether, we will be delivering nearly 300,000 signatures against tearing families apart at our southern border.
